1. Using a suitable diagram, note on the steps involved in establishing a call to the
mobile user by a landline subscriber. [3]
2. Explain Improper HO scenario with a suitable diagram. Note on practical
handoff considerations. [4]
3. With a suitable diagram, brief how sectoring can be used to improve system
capacity? A cellular service provider decides to use a digital TDMA scheme
which can tolerate a signal-to-interference ratio of 15 dB in the worst case. Find
the optimal value of N for
(a) Omni-directional antennas
(b) 120° sectoring. [3+3]
4. A transmitter equipped with an antenna of height 50 m is located 5 Km away
from a base station equipped with an antenna mounted at a height of 1.5m
above the ground. Both antennas have the same gain of 2.25 dB. The E-field at
1 Km from the transmitter is measured to be10−3 V/m. The carrier frequency
used for this system is 900 MHz.
